Copyediting
Copyediting (line editing) focuses on the readability of your book, ensuring that your writing flows smoothly and makes sense to your readers.
Copyediting takes a closer look at paragraphs and sentences, and corrects spelling and grammar. Whilst individual paragraphs may be restructured and reworked to improve readability, unlike a structural or developmental edit, a copyedit won’t look at the entire book's structure.
What do we include in a copyedit?
